| Privacy Policy |
| Collection of information |
When you visit our website, we do not collect personally
identifiable information about you, except when you specifically and knowingly
provide it. For instance, while many areas of our website are free to
all users, we do require registration for some services such as Trade
Alert. If you decide to register for these services, or if you request
information from us, you will be asked to provide certain information
and details, including your name, company, title, country and e-mail address.
The information you provide helps us create customized content like Trade
Alert. You will receive information only for the products that interest
you.
Our system also logs some basic and generic
information about your computer, including its:
- IP address (your computer's unique
signature)
- Operating system (e.g. Windows NT)
- Browser software (e.g. Netscape Navigator)
We use this information about your computer
to perform routine web site maintenance and to generate various aggregate
reports for internal analysis, research and monitoring purposes, and to
help us develop and enhance our web site and services for our users.
|
| JimTrade respects your privacy |
We will not sell, trade or rent personally identifiable information about
our users to other parties, without our users' consent.
We do, however, share certain aggregate information about our users with
advertisers. This enables us to constantly build a large database of products
and suppliers, giving you wider sourcing options.
We also reserve the right to disclose
user information in special cases. For example, when we have reason to
believe that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be infringing (or threatening to
infringe) or who may otherwise be causing injury to or interference with
(either intentionally or unintentionally), our title, rights, interests
or property, or those of other web site users, or of anyone else who could
be harmed by such activities. We also reserve the right to disclose, without
notice to you, personal information in response to a subpoena or other
judicial order or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is
required by any law, regulation or listing requirement, or by any stock/securities
exchange, governmental or regulatory authority.
|
| Use of information |
We may use the information you provide to respond to your requests
for additional information, to contact you, if necessary, to service your
account or for other administrative purposes. We may also access your
information to resolve disputes, to troubleshoot problems, to enforce
agreements between us, or for marketing purposes. In addition, for certain
transactions, our system may use your transaction details to automate
and to streamline your transaction by checking for electronic data compliance,
providing reporting features, and transferring data from previous forms
to those of the current transaction.
We may also use the information you provide
for certain mailing initiatives. For example, you may sometimes receive
an invitation to answer surveys or try out new products and services from
JimTrade. Your feedback helps us develop new products and services based
on your needs.
You always have a choice about receiving
mailings, surveys or information about products and services from us.
Each e-mail you receive has an "Unsubscribe" option. As a registered
member, you can also advise us which types of e-mail you wish to receive
by updating your Notifications page.
|
| Information relating to community members |
For those services which require registration, you will be asked to provide
certain personal and business information. Upon registration, you will
be enrolled as a member of our global community network. As a community
member, you have the right to opt-out of being listed in our membership
directory, which only other members and our relevant partners will be
able to access.
|
| Corrections of inaccuracies |
We are committed to providing reasonable and practical access to you to
identify and to correct any inaccuracies in or to update the information
you may provide. Our users who have provided information on our web site
can contact our Customer Services Department at support@jimtrade.com or
use the relevant automated updating system (where applicable) to make
corrections or updates.
|
| Co-branded and alliance relationships |
We have established relationships with other parties on the Internet to
offer you the benefit of other products and services which we ourselves
do not offer. We offer you access to these other parties either through
the use of hyperlinks to their sites from our site, or through offering
"co-branded" sites in which both ourselves and these other parties
share the same URL, domain name or pages within a domain name on the Internet.
Generally, we do not own the co-branded and alliance parties and we do
not control how they use any information you supply them. It is therefore
important that you understand their privacy policy and/or terms of use
if you visit and use their sites.
|
| Third party service providers |
You may notice that some services available through our website are "Powered
by" or "Provided by" other third party content or technology
service providers. We contract with these third party providers to help
us provide you with better value and service. To fully access and use
such services, you may sometimes be required to register for them or to
otherwise provide certain information and data. In order to provide you
with the services in question, such information and data may have to be
made available to the third party provider, who may then process or update
such information and data and transmit them back to us. We are highly
selective in choosing these third party providers, and they are allowed
to use your information and data only for the purpose of and in connection
with providing the services which we have contracted with them to provide.
|
| Important Notice: |
Although we adhere to industry standard practices to protect your personal information
and confidential data, we cannot ensure that such information and data
will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy.
